Please help....I am purchasing a decorative bench for my man, to place in our garden at home, it's his 65th birthday and I would like to mount an engraved plaque on the bench and I am trying to think of a snappy saying, quote or very short poem. He doesn't like to talk about the number so I can't say Happy 65th B. Can someone help me? Thanks!

I like Nothing is worth more than this day, by Goethe. Doesn't qualify as snappy I suppose, but it's nice for a garden, a retirement and a loved one... The day you give it to him it will refer to his retirement day, and all other days it will refer to the day at hand.
